I think that the idea that the quality of an action (music making, acting,
writing, etc.) is what makes people famous is a little naive. In fact, I'd
tend to think that what makes most people famous is a combination of luck, and
being in the right place in the right time (which really just boils down to
luck). That's not to say that there's no overlap between the famous and the
good (at whatever they do), or between the unfamous and the bad.
Of course, I have never done anything that could conceivably make me famous and
never tried to publish or distribute any music. I haven't really been
following the argument that this statement came out of, so maybe I am missing
some context, too.
